Chapter 28
Asta always wears military uniforms and dislikes overly extravagant things. The store chosen by Zhou Yuan, however, perfectly aligned with his aesthetic preferences. He nodded earnestly and said, “I really like it. Thank you, Your Highness.”
“We’ll buy some outfits first. Could you please recommend some?” Zhou Yuan stood up with a smile, addressing the salesperson.
The salesperson was somewhat surprised inwardly. He had originally been skeptical of the hot topics on StarNet, but now seeing Asta, the Marshal, in person, it seemed that the rumors didn’t do justice to how much he adored his queen.
However, he maintained his composure, still wearing a sweet smile as he said, “Of course, please follow me.”
Having worked here for a long time, the salesperson had a keen eye. He successively recommended several sets to Asta, all of which were excellent choices.
Asta picked out a few that were too extravagant and ultimately settled on a few comfortable and simple sets before entering the fitting room alone.
After Asta left, many of the female zergs’ gazes slowly converged on Zhou Yuan.
This store was rare in that it had a good business among both female and male zergs. Today being a rest day, many female zergs had gathered here.
Initially, the presence of Zhou Yuan and Asta was enough to attract attention, but with Asta leaving, the female zergs became somewhat restless.
After all, such a good male lord, if they could get close to him, they’d be happy for life!
Just the thought of it made the female zergs’ mouths water.
Soon, a delicately soft-looking sub-female approached Zhou Yuan and said softly, “Sir, how do I look? Could I add you on StarNet?”
“Huh?” Zhou Yuan, who was looking at stocks, raised his head in confusion.
He saw the fair and soft sub-female blink his eyes at him and smile charmingly. His fox-like eyes seemed to hook his soul.

After a moment of confusion, Zhou Yuan realized that this was a classic scene in the zerg world, with the female zerg volunteering to be the “third party.”
“Rb, cb, cb,” Itbe Tejc delmxis gfoerfv, “P’w rbggs, yea P bcis cffv ws Craj. P vbc’a lcafcv ab wjggs jcs wbgf ofwjif jaafcvjcar bg mbcmeylcfr.”

Before he could finish his sentence, Zhou Yuan immediately stood up and moved several steps to the right, distancing himself from the sub-female.
Zhou Yuan looked at the sub-female with a guarded expression, demonstrating his innocence through action. He said, “Stop, don’t come any closer! What if Asta misunderstands if he sees this?”
The sub-female: “?”
Others who were watching and planning to flirt: “?”
What did the male zerg just say?
The sub-female, confused, asked, “Sir, what are you talking about? What would happen if Marshal Asta knew?”
With a very serious expression, Zhou Yuan answered the question with several big words, “Because, not adhering to male ethics results in broken bones!”
The sub-female: “…Huh?”
What male ethics? What broken bones?
Why could he understand the words of the male zerg when he separated them, but couldn’t understand them when put together?
Not just the sub-female, but the other female zergs present were also very puzzled.
Fortunately, at this moment, Asta came out after trying on clothes.
The faint sound of the wheelchair’s remote wheels was heard as Asta, wearing a light-colored wool sweater, came up behind Zhou Yuan. He glanced at the current scene—
Originally sitting on the sofa, his husband was now standing aside, while a beautiful and delicate sub-female was occupying the original seat of the male lord, and the two zergs were still engaged in a friendly (?) conversation.
Asta’s originally relaxed fingertips slightly clenched. He asked, “Lord? What’s going on?”
Zhou Yuan was dumbfounded when he turned to see Asta.
He quickly walked a few steps to Asta’s side, took the hand that Asta had originally clenched the controller with, and proudly said, “See? My wife is here! You should give up soon. My marriage with Asta cannot tolerate a third zerg!”
Asta: “???”
Sub female: …
The sub-female felt like today’s experience was a bit surreal.
Under the urging of the male zerg’s rejection, he left somewhat dazedly. On the way, he nearly bumped into another zerg.
Asta was even more puzzled. “Lord, what just happened?”
Only then did Zhou Yuan push Asta to the sofa and briefly narrate what had just happened, concluding with, “Asta, I haven’t changed my mind. We agreed that it’s just you, my only female zerg, for life!”
Afterward, he remembered that Asta had left earlier to try on clothes, so he quickly looked Asta up and down and exclaimed, “Asta, you look great in this one!”
Asta responded somewhat ambiguously, recalling Zhou Yuan’s words from earlier.
At that time, and even now, Asta had his doubts.
Male zergs were always fickle, and Asta found it hard to believe that a male zerg would truly change for a female zerg.
But he hadn’t expected that the male zerg would indeed fulfill his promise.
Asta found it difficult to articulate his current feelings. He just felt a sense of fullness in his heart, as if someone had filled it with many feathers, making it light and buoyant.
He looked at Zhou Yuan with sparkling eyes, wanting to say something, but his mind was blank, and he couldn’t find the right words.
On the other hand, Zhou Yuan felt somewhat itchy under Asta’s gaze.
There was no other way. Asta’s demeanor was too much like that of a well-behaved child who, when he saw something he liked in a store but was too shy to ask his parents to buy it, would just look at them with hopeful eyes, silently praying that they would understand.
Being stared at like this, Zhou Yuan felt like he would buy anything for Asta, even if it meant plucking stars from the sky for him!
He reached out and took Asta’s hand, his face softening as he said, “Asta, tell me, what do you want? I’ll buy it for you, okay?”
The male zerg’s palm was dry and warm, like it carried a current, spreading warmth throughout Asta’s body. Asta’s ears turned slightly red.
He felt his expectations being met, so there was an unmistakable smile in his words. “Yes, thank you, Your Highness. I’d like to buy a few outfits for you in the same style as mine.”
There was no concept of couple outfits in the zerg world. Asta said this from the bottom of his heart; he simply wanted to see the lord wearing the same clothes as him. Plus, if they went to try on clothes together, they wouldn’t be interrupted or tempted by other zergs trying to flirt with Zhou Yuan.
But Zhou Yuan took in a sharp breath.
He just wondered, who could refuse to wear a couple’s outfits with their spouse!!
Zhou Yuan nodded vigorously. “No problem, come on, Asta, you choose! Let’s wear couple’s outfits!”
“Couple’s outfits? What’s that?” Asta was a bit puzzled; the lord’s mouth always seemed to spout words he couldn’t understand.
“Couple’s outfits are when two zergs in love wear the same style of clothes but can have different designs. That way, when we go out, everyone will know we’re together.”
“Oh…” Asta turned his head slightly, his fair cheeks gradually taking on a faint pink hue, as delicate as the dawn, but bright and dazzling.
